Anypart of the "Star Wars" films --- as well as "Lord of the Rings".

Couldn't tell the computer generated stuff from the real stuff -- henceforth, it is all a big cartoon! Props to the animators -- anyone else - phhhh!! Use your imagination and real people next time.

For me, it was "The Blair Witch Project." I almost threw up in my baseball cap. And it wasn't because it was sacry or grotesque or revolting ... it was because of the camera style, that amateurish, hand-held, herky-jerky technique. I couldn't believe no one else in the audience was throwing up!

Immediately after the movie, I searched the internet and discovered that there was indeed a flood of complaints about this phenomenon. It seems that anyone who had a history of motion-sickness had a BAD reaction to this movie. Yes, I have a history of motion-sickness (from reading on moving vehicles to scrolling through microfiche). I have never watched (or wanted to watch) this movie again.

Forest Gump: A grocery list of boomer nostalgia with really expensive computer effects.

Crash: It's okay to be racist because everybody's out to get you anyway.

The Lion King: Bambi for the 90's?? Excuse me, I didn't need a "Bambi for the 70's" when I was a kid. The original was just fine.

Little Miss Sunshine. I just don't understand why it's touted so highly and getting awards. It struck me as forced and painful to watch rather than entertaining.

For me, it was the entire Lords Of The Ring trilogy.

I think this was one of the first for Hollywood in creating movies for the sole purpose of creating a sequel.

You should blame the publisher on that. It was a super long book and they separated it into 3 books.

If it was one long movie then people would not be able to handle it. Excluding a few hundred tolkien-geeks of course.

It was a little uneven, but Little Miss Sunshine was one of the funniest movies that I saw last year.

American Beauty.

I'm so sorry for your white suburban angst.

Re: Movies you HATE that everyone else LOVES

I liked American Beauty, Ive watched it many times, theres something about the pacing and the dialogue that attracts me.

I didnt think Little Miss Sunshine was all that great either.

The regular Blade Runner....I like the director's cut without the Harrison Ford voiceover better.

Re: Movies you HATE that everyone else LOVES

it's supposed to be some brilliant satire on war and i know people say it was effective commentary when it came out (around the first iraq war) and is therefore effective commentary in these times, but i HATED "starship troopers." i did not get it at all.

my mom adores warren beatty and annette benning in "love affair." she dragged my cousin and me to see it at the theater. we hated it and agreed with guilt that the only entertaining part of the movie was watching katherine hepburn's tremors.
